About Us

Port Washington SEPTA (Special Education PTA) is a district-wide organization that was designed to build strong partnerships amongst parents, caregivers, teachers, administration, and the other HSAs within the Port Washington school community. Our primary function is to support a greater awareness of individual learning styles of students with IEPs, 504s, and those receiving building level supports. SEPTA is open to all families and staff throughout the district. We hope to encourage a true sense of community, commitment, and collaboration for the families we serve.
